Here was the piece I was looking for.....yet Team Obama is going to give them an extra 60 million in aid. Despite the Saudis giving them 300 million and despite Obama putting them on the terrorist watch list.
Syrian rebels defy US and pledge allegiance to jihadi group.....
Rebel groups across Syria are defying the United States by pledging their allegiance to a group that Washington will designate today a terrorist organization for its alleged links to al-Qaeda.
A total of 29 opposition groups, including fighting "brigades" and civilian committees, have signed a petition calling for mass demonstrations in support of Jabhat al-Nusra, an Islamist group which the White House believes is an offshoot of al-Qaeda in Iraq.
The petition is promoting the slogan "No to American intervention, for we are all Jabhat al-Nusra" and urges supporters to "raise the Jabhat al-Nusra flag" as a "thank you".
"These are the men for the people of Syria, these are the heroes who belong to us in religion, in blood and in revolution," read a statement widely circulated on Syrian opposition Facebook pages.
Although Jabhat al-Nusra remains separate from the Free Syrian Army, many FSA leaders now recognise its strength and order their forces to cooperate with it.....snip~

Of course now they are one of the leading groups in the Opposition. Anyone else see this play?
Nobody really knows what these 'rebels' have on their minds but odds are, judging from recent history in the area, it's going to be all Islam all the time. It's the Islamist spring, and democracies winter.
Obama continues to support Islamism in the Middle East and, from what we have seen by his reaction to Benghazi, will condemn anyone who is critical of Islam. Almost all the leaders are falling recently and being replaced by Islamists.
